Wildlife sound recording

[seany boy]

Thought i'd post this link as it may be of interest to some.

The guy in the pic carrying the parabolic reflector mic is a friend of mine

Click the Listen tab and there's a few on-line recordings.

Dont keep them a secret then

Yes ditto to that

I have a few on my computer at home but as I think they've largely come from Jon
and others on here I'll wait until he posts his first and then add any if they aren't
already mentioned.

From what I can gather the Museum of Garden History is having a London-based
workshop on "field recording in the city" -
http://www.cix.co.uk/~museumgh/events.html
and in particular - http://www.cix.co.uk/~museumgh/fieldrec.htm

I'm not quite sure what it's all about as the full details aren't on their site yet but I
expect all will eventually be revealed.

OK I'll go first

Most are bird related...

The Nature Conservancy - mixed bag of podcasts / mp3 of people talking about their
relationship with nature - an audio postcard / tour. Quite quirky - just found it.

The Freesound Project - sounds tagged with birds

- sounds tagged with 'nature'

The British Library - Listen to nature

- Explore wildlife sounds by animal group

Findsounds - link originally from Jon

PBS - The Life of Birds (Attenborough)

RSPB - Birds by name
http://www.rspb.org/wildlife/birdguide/name/a/index.asp

British Garden Birds - click on bird name, then voice
http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/birdindex.htm

(I'm afraid I forgot who donated these last two links to my favourites).

Also Wikipedia will have individual links in pages on a particular animal or wildlife
sound and YouTube has A/V recordings of all sorts of cool stuff, including the
Lyre Bird which is awesome.

And my obligatory 'how to Google for more' - recommend using search strings like
nature sounds click listen to select pages that let you listen to stuff there and then
rather than a commercial site. Also wildlife sounds click listen...
